The five 48North Scholarship recipients will learn strategies and tactics to start and grow a business in a strictly regulated and increasingly competitive industry. Entrepreneurs will be taken through a deep dive on proposed cannabis regulations, instructed on business planning, and given a crash course in legal 101. In addition, participants will hear from experts on sales, marketing and brand building and given access to a toolkit designed to raise money from investors. Unlike other cannabis conferences, the Cannabis Startup Bootcamp is built for startups, the class size is small (space is extremely limited), ensuring attendees have meaningful interactions with leaders.

Who should apply?

The scholarship is for women entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving real problems in the cannabis industry and want some of the best and brightest industry leaders and subject matter experts to help them along the way.
